Fresh Apple Drink (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Apple Syrup Base

01 - 3 crisp, tart green apples (think Granny Smith)
02 - 4 tablespoons honey
03 - 2 cups regular water

→ Drink Add-Ons

04 - Soda water or fizzy club soda
05 - A handful of ice cubes

# Instructions:

01 - Slice the apples into chunks and remove the cores. Work quickly to keep them from browning while exposed to air.
02 - Put the apple pieces, honey, and water into a large pot. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat way down. Let it bubble gently for 15 minutes, mashing the apples occasionally to get their juices flowing.
03 - Take the pot off the burner and let it cool completely. Push the mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl or pitcher, lightly pressing on the apple chunks to extract every last drop of liquid. Toss the leftover mush afterward.
04 - Add 2-3 tablespoons of apple syrup to each glass. Top with fizzy soda water, throw in ice cubes, and stir gently to combine.

# Notes:

01 - This refreshing drink combines the sweet-tart flavor of green apples with the smooth sweetness of honey for a bubbly treat.
02 - The syrup can be kept chilled in your refrigerator for up to five days—perfect for quick drink fixes.
